The Sun is a slowly rotating star with a convection zone below the surface which is the site of the solar dynamo. The solar rotation depends on the latitude, depth/height and time, i.e., the Sun rotates differentially. In the book several aspects of the solar rotation are covered. Only in the case of the Sun we can directly observe details in its atmosphere and so measure the rotation velocity using various tracers, which is one of the mostly used methods for rotation determination. So, the Sun is a prototype for studying other stars. Different techniques that enable to determine solar rotation (e.g., tracer method, spectroscopic method, helioseismology) are presented and their results are compared and interpreted. In the current literature there is no book exclusively about solar rotation published in the last several decades. The book is intended for astrophysicists, both professionals as well as students and people interested in science in general. The reader would strongly benefit from the comprehensive description of several topics related to the solar rotation. The authors are highly experienced in teaching astrophysics both to astrophysicists, solar physicists as well as to the public. Therefore, from the didactical point of view the book is written basically as a textbook, so the reader that is not deep within that field can gain an overview. Moreover, for those who want to get deeper into the topics, additional information is given, and recommendations for further literature as well as many citations to recent publications. The reader will get both (i) a general introduction into the topics (ii) overview of recent publications on the topics. Therefore, the book can serve as a textbook but will be also very useful for research and thesis writing, for example. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7890 606 $aSun 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aSolar system 606 $aCosmology 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aSolar Physics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aSpace Physics 606 $aCosmology 606 $aPlasma Physics 615 0$aSun. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aSolar system. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases). 615 14$aSolar Physics. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aAstrophysics. 615 24$aSpace Physics. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aPlasma Physics. 676 $a523.7 700 $aBrajsa$b Roman$01743729 701 $aHanslmeier$b Arnold$0858461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910913787903321 996 $aSolar Rotation$94298200 997 $aUNINA
